Another busy day for me. Had to run up to Holyoke Hospital–Kimm needed a follow-up x-ray for her appointment with the neurosurgeon which was later in the afternoon and I needed to pick up some educational material for ACLS which I have at the end of the month.

During the afternoon we went to Kimm’s 6 week follow-up appointment and everything is looking good, at least according to the x-ray. We asked about the on and off again return of sensation to Kimm’s legs…he again used a metaphor, said it’s like the stock market…we don’t look at the day-to-day ups and downs, but rather at the long-term trend. Once again he stated that we’ll know for sure in a year what damage will be permanent. I truly HOPE that there will be improvement. He did say to come back in 6 months and if the legs/back are still bothering her he’ll do a repeat MRI. So we shall see. All I have to say is that it was THE SHORTEST appointment I’ve ever been to. Less than 5 minutes. Took longer to drive there!

Watched the results part of Dancing with the Stars when I got back while balancing the checkbook and paying the bills. Bye bye Pamela Anderson (I feel safe enough that this is not a spoiler as I’m so far behind on the show!).

After dinner we visited a bit with a close friend…nice to laugh a bit! Then I was so exhausted I pretty much fell asleep on the couch while watching an episode of Chopped…bed never felt so good!

About Me

Hello and welcome to my blog. My name is Kaye, and I live in the New England state of Massachusetts. This blog follows my life, day by day. You are SURE to read about my partner Kimm, our cats, Charlie (aka Mr. Man) and Madeline (or as we call her, The Queen), our newly adopted 3-year-old lab, Izzy, my nursing career, the food we eat, and our endeavors in fixing up our newly purchased home (yep, we finally bought a house in 2008 after dreaming about it for MANY years!). A few of my interests include...cooking, reading, trying to live frugally, health and nutrition, watching movies, listening to tunes, and catching up on other blogs. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy my random postings...
